I mentioned in a previous post that I want to make my library like Dymocks, and Katy and I have refreshed the library to [...]

…but not from playing computer games or anything of the like, but actually doing some physical work on a Dingo, moving mulch onto my garden. It has been a bit of a week in the Stephens’ household, so it’s been a welcome relief to do some physical work to put behind the goings on that [...]

When I was at the ARk Conference the other week, I got some great ideas about what I could do with my library.
